TransMissions Episode 12

On this episode we’ll talk toys with images of the first Age of Extinction toyline and a custom transforming Lego G1 Masterpiece Prime. We’ll take a look at IDW’s ReGeneration One #95 and the classic Marvel Transformers #9, and we’ll try and figure out exactly what happened to Michael Bay in Hong Kong. We have all this and so much more on this episode of TransMissions!

We made a mistake in our MTMTE #22 review last week. We said it had no connection to Dark Cybertron, but on page 18, the Ammonite spy refers to the “Dark Cyclops” which is obviously a reference to Shockwave

Later in the movie the Spaceballs’ giant spaceship Spaceball One transforms into Mega Maid in a very Unicron-esque scene. Barf (John Candy) watches in horror and says, “It’s not just a spaceship, it’s a Transformer!”
